Annual Drive
For Red Cross
Starts Tuesday
Joint Campus Committee
Plans Door-to-Door Trek
To Solieit Contributions
Complete University coverage
in the annual Red Cross fund
drive will be the goal of student
organizations attempting to meet
the $17,500 quota set for Athens
and vicinity.
The drive will start Tuesday with
the groups, sponsored by Inter-Fra
ternity and Pan-Hellenic Councils,
striving to reach every door on cam
pus.
Letters have already been mailed
to all University departments and
oragnizations soliciting their sup
port, Joint Committee Chairman Ro
land Stubbs said today.
Dorms Canvassed
Tuesday night all sorority and fra
ternity houses and dormitories will
be canvassed by volunteer workers.
The joint IFC-Panhel committeemen
will visit men’s dormitories begin
ning at 7 p.m. and will visit women’s
dormitories shortly after 11 p.m.
Such a program should give all
students a chance to contribute.
Chairman Stubbs explained, adding
that there will be some who do not
fall in any of the categories.
“Any of those students missed by
the door-to-door canvass who wish
to contribute are urged to send do
nations to the committee in charge
of either IFC or Pan-Hellenic before
March 10,” he said.
Past Drives
Drives on campus in the past have
been handled by the administration
rather than student organizations.
Last year's drive had a special
representative to solicit money from
the faculty. This year they will be
contacted by letter unless they live
in dormitories.
The 1951 goal was set at $1 per
student, an increase of over half over
1950’s successful goal of $1,800,
While students have decreased
since last year, committeemen hope
that the contribution ratio will re
main as high.

Play Continues Despite
Blaze in Costume Boom
Fire in the costume room
following the first performance
of “Twelfth Night” Tuesday
night burned four of the elabor
ate 10th century costumes and
damaged several others.
The blazq was believed to have
started from a costume hung
over a lighted bulb.

“Twelfth Night,” with the aid
of actors, actresses, and stage
crews made new costumes to re
place those burned.
Steps Simplified
In Registration
Spring Quarter
A few shortcuts, prescribed by
Student Council to ease future
registration pains, were announc
ed today by Registrar Walter I\.
Danner.
Specifically, time for freshmen
registration and procedure for pay
ing fees at Academic Building have
been changed.
"Courses have been closed out to
freshmen in the past.” Danner said,
“because upperclassmen have been
scheduling courses back to the fresh
men level. Allowing freshmen to
register first would eliminate this,”
he said.
The treasurer’s office will remain
open on registration day until 6 p.m.
Students will enter the rear entrance,
remain in single file to fee windows,
and leave the building by the front
door nearest the'Chapel. Danner
said.
Students remaining at closing time
will be allowed to pay fees through
3 p.m., Tuesday, March 25, but will
not be excused from classes for this
purpose.
The problems are two of several
recently presented to the registrar
by Student Council. Others listed by
the council include inadequate iden
tification card photograph facilities,
and lack of insufficient personnel at
Arts and Sciences, Physical Educa
tion, and Military desks.
Included in the resolution was a
recommendation for registration
prior to a quarter’s beginning.
Commenting on Student Council's
proposals. Danner said, “More per
sonnel will be placed on the various
desks mentioned, if needed and if
available.”
"Pre-registration,” he continued,
“does not work efficiently with a
large enrollment. It is adequate for
a small college, but not a univer
sity.”
“The problem of long ID photo
lines should be remedied by next
fall,” he said, “probably by allowing
a longer period for having photos
made and by obtaining a new
camera.”
